<p>The page says <b>ghIl</b> means <i>be the mean, be the average [arithmetic mean].</i> Is this meant to be an imprecise layman's term (since the mean and the average are different things), or does it actually mean
<i>arithmetic mean,</i> and <i>average</i> is just in there to (imprecisely) guide a layman's understanding of what a
<i>mean</i> is? Or is it some mathematical term that is somehow both a mean and an average?<o:p></o:p></p>
